| The streets were full but lots of space on the beach |
We hadn't been to
Clearwater Beach since 2011, our first year on the Gulf.That year, we went somewhere every day, as it was all new. I wasn't impressed with Clearwater Beach then -- the overbuilding and crowds were simply too much for me. I guess I've gotten used to both, though I am still stunned that every square inch of space is used, and there is more concrete than water or palm trees.

| Sand Key Park |
Yesterday was another cool day so we drove north. There wasn't really much traffic, and we covered the 22 miles in less than the 53 minutes allocated by Google maps for that time of day. We saw more of the beach this visit, but still had trouble parking. Some of the spring breakers on the beach were in swim wear (brr!!) but many were wearing jackets and sweatshirts.
Not really much of a party atmosphere, I thought. At 54F, too damn cold. We crossed the bridge to
Sand Key Park, where the large parking lot was quite empty. A few fishermen sat on the rocks, and one family picnicked not far from the rocky shore.
The water really was clear and blue, and quite beautiful.
